Hello daddy
are you drunk again
I've been waiting on the back porch
Waiting to come in
N' good evening daddy
You're asleep again
Lying on the T.V. couch
with your eyes hidden
under your rim
But you know you can't
You can't fool me
Because I know
I know that you still love me
N' I know that it ain't all your fault
You're just a strong headed man
with brittle weak heart
N' your'e waitng , yes you are waiting
For your daddy
Cause he's gonna come and
he's going to
Tear you apart
But why can't you hold me
Like the other daddies do
And why can't you love me
Like I was a part of you
But you know you can't
You can't fool me
Because I know
I know that you still love me
N' I know that it ain't all your fault
Your'e just a strong headed man
with brittle weak heart
N' your'e waitng , yes you are waiting
For your daddy
Cause he's gonne to come and
he's going to
Tear you apart
Good-bye daddy
I guess I'll be seeing you around
Because I am old enough to
understand
But still too young, I am just too young
I am still too young
to know how
Hello daddy
are you drunk again
I've been waiting on the back porch
Waiting on the back porch
I am still waiting on the back porch
to come in
